Completely Kids after-school Program

We are looking for volunteers to present STEM activities to a group of 9-12 young ladies in the 3-5th grade at some of our underrepresented schools in the Omaha area from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. If you have never presented to this program don’t worry, we will pair you up with another seasoned volunteer. SWE will provide all of the materials and directions on how to present the activity and information on how this activity applies to the engineering world.

Some of our activities include balloon cars, making lipstick, paper towers, asphalt cookies, and many more fun activities.

For questions or to volunteer please reach out to Gabriela Ostler, our Outreach Coordinator at gabriela.a.ostler@raytheon.com or Janis Pfingsten at President@SWE-Nebraska.org

If you have other ideas or opportunities for outreach please contact Gabriela.
